Cracking the Hard Class

At some point in every teacher′s career he/she will encounter the ′hard class′. Bill Rogers highlights many practical strategies that can be implemented to overcome the hard class syndrome.

′The book offers a very practical approach to building specific skills that will give teachers confidence in dealing with their toughest customers′ - Debate

′Teachers struggling to manage "difficult" pupils may be relieved to learn that the author, along with many other educationalists, believes that effective teaching can be developed by acquiring the necessary skills - you don′t have to be born with them! This book is full of those skills and how to put them into practice. With stress levels apparently rising amongst teachers, Bill Rogers′ calm approach to tackling even the most extreme behavioural problems in the classroom, to create a "more positive working environment", will come as a relief to many teachers′ - Youth in mind
